Not the best, but probably not the worst psych unit. The unit consists of 3 MCQ quizzes across the semester instead of a final exam which was good except the first quiz was extremely difficult with a low average. Questions were long and had to complete 20 in 20 minutes so many didn't finish. Feedback on this was listened to though as the subsequent quizzes had fewer questions and weren't as long-winded. Instead of a lab report, this unit had a lab manual which involved doing work based on each of the labs, basically answering questions, doing further research as well as a creative element. I found this assessment quite unenjoyable as there was no marking key or explanation as to what was expected to be included in answers with questions having 4 marks, 7 marks, or another random number allocated to it but was hard to know what you actually needed to include to get those marks. The group presentation is based on a research paper and media article of your group's choosing, and there was freedom as to whether you wanted to present live, have a pre-recorded video or a combination of those methods. It's hard to pick group members as you pretty much get randomly allocated in the first lab, so just have to hope your members are willing to put in the work over the semester. Overall, I found some of the guest lecturer content to be of the most interest, I found the beginning content to be quite technical. Also, don't waste your time buying the textbook and taking notes on the chapters for the quizzes, as I found at least for the last two you could easily answer the questions with just the lecture content. Good luck!

Start writing your lab report early and have a good idea of what data you are using early. Mine changed every other week and I ended up having to rush it over the last week. It's not as guided as the others so it can't be rustled up in a day. Keep up to date with lectures as there is a lot of content to remember. In terms of psych units, it was definitely one of the harder ones.
